Xmas poll, do u love it or not

[waterproofbob]

I personally dislke most festive times. I'm a very happy person, however xmas involves all my family meeting up and that is never a positive experience, thus i greatly dislike the festive periods and all they now involve.

Well that all depends. Last year was a bit of a financial black hole. I spent over a grand on presents around Christmastime (Ill give you all a second to reclaim your jaws from the floor) and what did I get back off my mates? Sweet FA is what. Bastards. I bought each and every person a birthday and christmas present and not one of them even had the courtesy to say 'Happy Birthday' or 'Merry Christmas' in return. (actually, thats not entirely true. We had a good ol' time at KC's last year on Christmas eve, and we had real russian vodka and all that. Thanks KC, fuck the rest of you) Ungrateful lot that they are. Luckily, a good part of that grand was spent on my bro's X360, which I play all the time anyway.

So, something tells me I'm not going to be quite so generous this year. In fact, I'm going to ask my parents for an MP3 player for Christmas (I insisted on not buying me a present last year as i had a job. What the hell was I thinking?) and probably something juicy for my b-day as well.

Christmas? Bah!

My god Tetsuo!

I'm amazed that you brought all your friends presents. It's an unwritten rule with my mates of don't buy for me because I won't buy for you.

Having said that recently that rule has been slowly changing since we all have jobs.

Little things are always better then big cash purchases. Oh and always agree a budget with family members before you go and splash.

As for Christmas it's awesome and I love it. Food, drink, cheese, port, more food, presents, friends and family and a bit more cheese.

I like Christmas. My parents are well off so I just ask for anything, and I usually get it, so hopefully a Wii and a couple of PC games + other things this year! Yay !

I get excited on crimbo day itself!!

But until thats its a wee bit of a drag!

BUT CRIMBO LUNCH IS THE BEST!!!!

Its so much fun. Me my dad and bro usually end up rolling with laughter on the floor after stuffing ourselves and then cant stop giggeling for ages!! its great!!

Got drunk for the first time on crimbo eve a few years ago which wasnt the best move ever!

As for persents mum gives me some money and i spend it and then give her what I bought and then she buys me some other stuff. Lots of little things mostly

Free stuff, whats to dislike?!?!?! And a hearty lunch, followed by a few pints of Christmas ale. Could life get any better?

Add naked women. PARTAY!

I like the time off... the rest, lazy mornings and getting presents

I hate the family part

Tact

You know the score Nanor. As long as the naked women don't go along with the relatives part. That would be wrong, especially as the only female relatives i'm seeing this year are my mum, sister and nan.

I love all my relatives and christmas is one of the few times I get to meet them during the year (Sweden might not be a big country but it's bloody tall - closest relative outside of family lives 7 hours train ride away).

Gifts < dinner and good company.
